Colorado Historic Newspapers

The Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection (CHNC) currently incluCHNC logodes over 600 newspaper titles published in Colorado from 1859 up to 2021. Newspapers within the collection come from throughout the state, and include papers published in English, German, Italian, Japanese, Servian, Slavic, Spanish, and Swedish. CHNC provides access to over 2,000,000 and growing, digitized pages from these newspapers. Digitization of additional newspapers continues through a local fund-raising model with contributions made by local libraries, archives, museums, and other organizations. Newspapers are digitized from microfilm or from the original newspaper.  For more information about the CHNC, see our help and forums page.  To explore the database of over two million pages of historic newspapers, check out CHNC yourself.
